Going Concern

We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations.

In addition, operating activities used cash of approximately $3.6 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company raised additional cash of $2.3 million, net of offering costs from the sale of 5,060,000 shares of common stock during 2017. Management is actively seeking additional equity financing.

On September 26, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GPB Debt Holdings II, LLC (“GPB”), pursuant to which the Company issued to GPB a secured convertible promissory note and received gross proceeds of $4.9 million.
